#NaNoWriMo2015 Diary -- Day 9
Day 9 A good day of writing today. Almost 3000 words. I planned out the scene and everyone’s role in it and then went back and wrote it, fleshing it out in prose, naming characters, filling in details. The use of detail is one of the secrets to creating a powerful and memorable story. Remember that. Hopefully your project is coming along and you’re reaching your word counts and then some. If so, continue writing. If your characters are talking and you’re there, with them, wherever they are, stay there and follow them around and see what develops. And if the words aren’t flowing, that’s okay, too. Every writer is different in their approach. And every book is different, even for the same writer. Every project is likely unique. It’s important to hone your technique to see what works for you. But at the end of the day, you must write. You can’t simply spend all your time saying you’re blocked. Ten years will pass and you’ll still be on chapter 7 of your WIP....
